I am very much in favour of Ubuntu and Open Source software and would really like to see Microsoft getting some serious competition. I agree with the comments regarding games being a reason why many people wont switch. Another big reason is that for business to switch it would need a good alternate to the accounting packages available on windows, which unfortunately in South Africa are almost non existant. We need something that is equivalent to the Pastel range of software. Something that obviously goes hand in hand with a good accounting package are good printer drivers for a wide variety of printers - this is really lacking in Ubuntu and Linux in gereral.

In summary solve the gaming, accounting and printing problems and you will go a long way in convincing users to make the switch.
